Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 User Reviews
- Super meteor 650A good touring machine with great road presence and performance, paired with stylish looks, decent mileage, and reliability. Royal Enfield offers service and support across India. Surprisingly agile in city conditions, you don't feel the bulk of the bike, and its amazing low-end torque means you don't need frequent gear shifts.Read More4 4
- Bikers DreamThe bike offers extreme comfort and an excellent riding experience, especially if you love riding on long routes. The maintenance cost for such a beast is reasonable, but not very cheap. The thrust and power are overwhelming, and the cruising experience is on another level. The only drawback is that the bike is not easy to manoeuvre on roads with heavy traffic. Overall, it's a great bike.Read More2 2
